Review: Beautiful, Wonderful, and Advanced - It took me 3 hours to tear down my most recent set up and replace it with this. Tight constraints but I’m a big fan of the ATX factor. My immediate concern being a novice PC builder was that there is a 4x2 and a 2x2 ATX CPU power pin. If you are NOT over clocking, the 4x2 pin is enough and will boot and run things no issues. Tons of fan slots. The armor plates are removable and double as a heat sink for M.2 drives which go under them and can be screwed back on over the drives. Very sleek design. Heavy. Lots of metal parts and I love me some old fashioned gun metal colors. There is a built in RGB a lot so you can use those silly 3 pin connections and light up your world. BIOS from Gigabyte has always been nice in my opinion. This one is just as lovely as prior iterations and felt a lot better too. This board helped me trouble shoot why I could not boot my PC as well, made set up take a much shorter amount of time. This Z690 AX is labeled as the king of gaming by gigabyte. It, combined with a 13th gen processor, knows no bounds and transcends defeat. I did have some minor issues bios flashing, mostly operator error, but ddr4 updates I had to go back and use older files (F20) to use a 13th gen processor.
Review: Great board so far.. - It's been two weeks since I completed my build (intel i7 12700k + Gigabyte AORUS Elite AX z690 ddr4 + 32gb corsair vengeance 3200mhz + 2TB Samsung 970 evo plus ) the system is stable as a Rock - 0 crashs, 0 issues with a Fresh windows 11 installation. First thing I did out of the box was to install the latest frimware (F6f). After windows installation was complete Run all the known test - cinabench r23, prime95 and few others with no issues. The memory xmp is working as intended. The nvme was detected during windows installation - to sum up non of the issues reported by others was present. My use for this system is mostly work and light gaming session. Didn't see the need to overclock it yet, since it a brand new system it fast enough for my need. I really like this board so far - hope it stay this way.
